Spoiler Alert: Australian West Wing Fans

Since The West Wing stopped being shown in Australia I haven’t kept up with it. I’ve just started watching it again now that the ABC are showing new episodes. I went looking at some websites. First I found out that the character Leo McGarry, is running for vice president has a heart attack and dies. Then I find out that the actor, John Spencer, who plays Leo has died in December last year. Sad, very sad.

John was a great actor, not just in The West Wing. I also liked him in LA Law. Wikipedia has a page about him. He died in hospital in Los Angeles. Stockard Channing was with him when he died.

I didn’t want to find out what’s coming up in later episodes. And I especially didn’t want to know that John had died.
